Day 17

When I woke up this morning, Bigfoot was sound asleep, even though I had heard his alarm go off. He had “snoozed” it and went back to sleep. When I woke him up, he was quite alarmed about the time and jumped up and we left. We were sleeping at the Hillshire Farm plant in New London Wisconsin. We did my favorite thing today……drove on rural highways instead of major interstates and got to see some very pretty places in Wisconsin. Gorgeous flowers, Amish homes, quaint little towns (one called Wild Rose), and lots and lots of green. Aunt Bet is right, Wisconsin is very lovely.

We crossed the Mississippi River from Wisconsin to Minnesota. The river was very pretty and so was Minnesota. As we were traveling along in Minnesota on I-90, I saw a billboard that said 16,500 square feet of SPAM with a SPAM can. I was intrigued, so I Googled Minnesota SPAM and found the neatest website called www.roadsideamerica.com. There I found that there is a SPAM museum in Austin Minnesota. I read all about it and we passed by it, but of course, we did not get to stop. I keep forgetting we are truckers and not tourists, which stinks. I was not quick enough to get a picture of the SPAM billboard, but then again, who knew to be on the lookout for SPAM museum advertisement.

Minnesota, just out of Wisconsin

We are still moving and we have made it as far as Kansas City. I think we are going to stop in Oklahoma somewhere after while. It is time now for me to go back to sleep!
